Abstract: A flame ionization technique based on the heat/mass transfer analogy has been used in an experimental investigation of film cooling effectiveness. The measurements were made over the surface of ...

Abstract: Current analysis and design procedures for light‐frame wood buildings do not give consideration to the complex three‐dimensional structural response of the buildings. A full‐scale single‐story wood house is constructed and ...

Abstract: A method of global nondestructive evaluation for identifying local damage and decay in timber beams was developed in previous analytical studies and verified experimentally using simply supported beams in the laboratory. ...

Abstract: The objective of the work of this paper was to investigate analytically the feasibility and advantages of applying various combinations of steel jacket retrofit measures developed for single-column bent bridges to multicolumn ...

Abstract: Interstate 90 crosses Mercer Slough near Bellevue, Washington. Mercer Slough is filled with a very soft, thick peat deposit. Very little is currently known about the dynamic behavior of such soils or the seismic response ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental study of the seismic performance of cantilever-reinforced concrete masonry shear walls. As part of a research project on displacement-based design of masonry structures, 30 cantilever ...

Abstract: In this first part of a two-part paper, development of a method of dynamic system identification for timber beams is presented with an analytical verification of the method using a finite-element model. A method of global ...

Abstract: In a companion paper, a method of global nondestructive evaluation (NDE) for identifying local damage and decay in timber beams was developed and verified analytically using a finite-element model of a timber beam. The ...
